Growing up in a city like Chicago was always tough. Especially if your an un athletic white boy like myself. Baseball, Was my true passion and still is. Never good enough to play but i didnt care. I didnt wanna play i wanted to be a GM, you know like making big deals and signing superstars that is the life i wanted. Well, i am only 19 but i have managed before. ya great teams like my Fantasy baseball team last year took first place . I did get a internship for the White sox( My love) and you know the assistant to the GM, Well I'm his assistant. My life was just getting coffee and picking up dry cleaning until while making a stop at dunking donuts i heard that GM Kenny Williams was fired. I quickly grabbed my 12 pack and ran back to the office where it was announced that " ANYONE, Yes ANYONE may try for the job" i swear that moment i almost wet myself with joy. I signed up for an interview and was told i was third behind some big shot from Texas and some loser from Seattle. Finally the next day it was my turn and here is how our interview went down
Owner- So, Your name is James Franklin.... and your 19?!?!?!?
Me- Well, yes sir but becoming a GM is always been a big dream of mine
Owner- ok kid, Well what makes me think a guy who cant even drink yet should GM my team?
Me- Well, I know everything about this tem. Whether its Fielding, hitting, bunting, or situational stats i know it all. i know it all and i know Jim Thome's Middle name
Owner-= You are trying to get a GM job by saying you know a guys middle name?
Me- It was a joke sir i was trying to be funny
Owner- well i like a funny boy, you intrigue me
After a few more questions of team management and prospect development he wished me good bye and told me to wait for his call.
7 PM- RIIING RIIING, i answer the phone as fast as i could
Me- Hello
RANDOM DUDE- Yes, well kid this is the assistant to the Owner, and i have some good news and some bad news
Me- whats the bad news?

UNDER MY BREATH- OH ****
Me- .... Whats the good news?
